Does anyone here have phone insurance? I was debating getting now since there is an open enrollment til the end of the month. Thinking of doing it for a year then cancelling it. thoughts?

[shaggie821]

Yes i do & if u need a replacement it cost 99 bucks 4 the razr. Still worth it in my mind. After a year u can prob drop it cuz phone price will prob drop.

I have insurance (asurion)....and honestly its only because im on a college campus and dont trust anyone
its only a few bucks per week...IMO you might want to try it and if you dont like it you can drop it

But even with insurance mine has a screen cover and an otterbox on it. I might be a little over protective

I broke my razr 2 days ago, and for $99 they're sending me a Droid Razr Maxx instead of only giving me the razr v1. They're out of the original.

My buddy got the same deal. Thinking of adding insurance and breaking my Razr now too to get the Maxx.

My experience with Asurion has been stellar to say the least.

I have used the insurance twice and both times a brand new sealed device was shipped out the same day via overnight delivery.

The last device was a HTC Thunderbolt. If you factor the charger, extra battery, extra memory card you receive with the replacement (since they send you a brand new one) then its almost a real deal since you could ebay those items.

Additionally, sometimes its better to pay the $99 and get a brand new device when you decide to sell. Most times, by selling a brand new sealed device, you can get at least an extra $99 and dont have to deal with any problems with ESN etc.

I hope no one abuses the system and damages their phones on purpose to a Max. Our rates will keep going on up

I have heard lots of good things about Squaretrade as well. There is a $99 deductible like Asurion. The main difference is that Squaretrade simply sends you a check for the full value of the device.

So say 11 months from now you lose your device or it gets smashed, they will send you a check for the full price of the phone at time of purchase and you can select any device you want to purchase.

Looks pretty cheap as well.

exactly, then we'll end up like at&t, their smartphone claims cost 199 and are a guaranteed refurb, if they don't have a refurb, they'll send a similar phone that is refurbished.

Well I know that Asurion charges $199 for iphone replacement. And, I thought (not totally sure) that AT&T used Asurion as well.

[novakdesolation]

they do, I work for them, but I'm not sure why their deductables with asurion are so high, I have a theory that it's because GSM phones can be easily reused even if reported stolen/lost, simply by putting another sim card in, where as with cdma, if it's reported stolen, the carrier will lock that phone from use until it's returned. just my theory

Had the same thing happen to me. Warranty covered a replacement. I'd go through warranty first, and if they won't replace it then try insurance. Save the $100 deductible if you can.

Make sure to rsd back to stock before you take it in or they will claim the problem is from rooting....

Since I originally had the DX that I loved, I kept it and that is my insurance policy.

Definitely a good idea... I still have my DX.... when I upgrade in the future I will keep my RAZR as a 4g backup.... kinda nice you can put your sim into any 4g phone and have service (as long as the esn isn't banned)
